Ingredients

¼ cup all-purpose flour 3 pounds bone-in chicken breast halves 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 small red onions, cut into quarters 1 pound new white potatoes, cut into quarters 8 ounces fresh baby carrots, green tops trimmed to 1-inch long 1 ½ cups Swanson® Chicken Stock 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves

Let's cook.

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, black pepper, and paprika. Give the chicken a good coating with this mixture.

Step 2

Heat some oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook it for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until it’s nicely browned on all sides. Take the chicken out and set it aside, then pour off any excess fat from the pan.

Cook's tip

- Cut vegetables into similar sizes to ensure even roasting.
- Toss the vegetables halfway through cooking to promote browning and prevent sticking.
